Continuation of Story:

On arrival in the port of New York, Bianca  immediately created a schism. She announced, “Hey look guys! I have the keys to a yacht!”. Most of us eschewed from asking where she got the keys to a yacht, so we boarded the boat on our way to Lithuania. Lisa was being garrulous because of her nervousness on being on the high seas, and was quickly sent to the brig for her blabbering. We could hear her harangue through the night and realized it would be no good to keep her locked away, so we let her out for the remainder of our voyage. On the trip, we noticed Daniel had a heavy
interdependence on each part of his classy wardrobe, and in exchange we decided to lock a suit away to get on his nerves. I wouldn’t say his foul mood was capricious and we soon relinquished his prized outfit so he would stop complaining. Land was in sight sooner than we expected. the journey through Lithuania was surprisingly quiet. It lacked loquaciousness I would have expected from our group. oddly though, one night we found Daniel had wandered off due to cabin fever and was neigh to be found. After a while we found Daniel around a campfire with many strange figures. Daniel’s interest in Germanic paganism was ephemeral to say the least. Their chants ricocheted off the surrounding trees as there was a plethora of pagans. "Daniel, stop your pagan shenanigans.” Said Ashley as she approached the fire. Everyone thought this situation was wonky and decided promptly to leave. However we haven’t decided where. “Egypt has a nice ring to it.” stated Daniel as He used his observations of paganism and his own religious beliefs and juxtaposed them together in a long, sesquipedelian talk on the way to his car. Our experience with Egypt was inchoate, but we headed off ebulliently none the less.
